Designed for speed and convenience, the My Passport series of hard drives make backing-up your files fast, easy, and most importantly automatic.

Keep those files not only stored, but protected, using WD Security for password protection and hardware encryption--to protect your files from unauthorized use or access.

Massive capacity, yet small design

Automatic, continuous backup software

Whenever you save or change a file, it is instantly backed up without you having to manually move or copy a thing.

However with this single drive you do get compatibility with your USB 2.0 devices today and the speed of USB 3.0 when you're ready to step up to the next generation. The drive is also powered through the USB port, so there's no need to lug around a bulky power adapter.
